Thompson Would Have Won Louisiana

As of early January, Louisiana social conservatives did not know if Fred was going to remain in the race, so they created an option to vote for “committed pro-life/pro-family”, with the understanding that this coalition would commit their vote to a pro-family candidate. About 90% of people in that pro-life/pro-family coalition were Thompson supporters.

Well, Louisiana had their caucus yesterday, and “committed pro-life/pro-family” beat all the other candidates. Fred would have had Lousiana’s delegates. As of yesterday, he would have been ahead of John McCain and just behind Mitt Romney in delegate totals.

Fred Thompson quit on what would have been the day of his first win of the primary season. This, heading into Florida, and then SuperTuesday, where a host of Southern states and a ton of momentum were up for grabs.

My email address is linked to my powerline name. It would have been a simple thing to drop me an email and ask my permission to use my quote. I may have said yes, or I may have said no, but I wouldn’t have said “Fuck off.”

But then, I’m not a perpetually pissed-off liberal. Have a nice life, freak.

I don’t need your permission to quote you. I attributed the quote, and that was enough. Again, fuck off. You’re not asking for courtesy, you just want me to give you permission to censor me. Fuck off for a third time, wingnut. If you make a public statement, the statement is fair game for use by others, as long as proper attribution is made, which it was.

Of course, I’m wasting logic and reason on someone who has neither. As for my being perpetually pissed-off, that’s rich coming from YOU, someone who belongs to Powerwhine.
